Congratulations, RadFan, you really have a smart kid.

Sinsanity,
you cannot possibly be serious!

Another amazing aspect to this story. Within the last 24 hours a number of stories have appeared in the online newspapers. Here's some of the headlines:

Robots Invade Human Mind

Coming soon: mind reading computers

New computers may be able to read minds

Scientists Develop Mind-reading Computers

All posted within the last 24 hours.

Talking about how computers are reading human's emotions by facial expression, a part of sentience.

It'll most likely be beneficial to your credibility if you tackle one issue at a time, e.g. respond to the inquiries in the other thread.



Also, perhaps the computers were programmed by humans? :rolleyes:
 
If the internet is sentinent then how come sinsanity2006 is able to post?

Surely the internet would just remove sinsanity2006's ability to post, so no one else would find out the awful truth? The internet could fake some emails, tip off the CIA about a 'terrorist threat' and get sinsanity2006 a one way ticket to Gitmo.

Of course the net may be replacing sinsanity2006's lucid and convincing posts with garbled nonsense so sinsanity looks like a troll. That might be it.

I bet the net hates it when Al Gore asks it to call him Daddy.
 
Update:

It's not an Easter Egg.

Here is the answer:

This api can break

Over at WinCustomize, someone thought they'd found an Easter Egg in the Windows Notepad application. If you:
  1. Open Notepad
  2. Type the text "this app can break" (without quotes)
  3. Save the file
  4. Re-open the file in Notepad
Notepad displays seemingly-random Chinese characters, or boxes if your default Notepad font doesn't support those characters.

It's not an Easter egg (even though it seems like a funny one), and as it turns out, Notepad writes the file correctly. It's only when Notepad reads the file back in that it seems to lose its mind.

But we can't even blame Notepad: it's a limitation of Windows itself, specifically the Windows function that Notepad uses to figure out if a text file is Unicode or not.

We'll, it looked like an Easter Egg. It was certainly an undocumented feature. In any event, isn't amazing how a little less magical thinking and a little more critical thinking and effort can find answers to simple problems?
 
Sorry folks but Sinsanity is being a bit obtuse and I'm trying desperatly to get him to respond in a meaningfull fashion and since he is posting on both threads I'm goint to also in an atempt to get him to respond.

1.) What questions?

2.) What answers?
 
For those not following the other thread. Try this one.

I figured it out.

OMG, Sinsanity is right!

Here, try it out for yourself. I asked, "is Sinsanity an idiot?". Of course we know that a computer doesn't understand properly formated text so I had to follow the pattern and formated it so,

sins ani san idiot

Result,

"Worried thoughts"

Damn, I'm convinced.

Try it yourself.
